This chapter proposes a new learning infrastructure of performing arts education called Global Theatre. Global Theatre connects students and theatres over the Internet and creates a unique environment to share performing arts. It enables students to enjoy performing arts together, deepen intercultural understanding, and communicate with a global audience in synchronized time, regardless of location and distance. Global Theatre consists of three basic elements: a learning program focused on performing arts; a collaborative community formed by a university, theatre space, and performing group; and an ICT platform that realizes live appreciation of performing arts. In this chapter, two experimental implementations are carried out. The authors conducted a translated play shared by Thailand and Japan in 2009, and an international collaborative play shared by Thailand, Japan, and Malaysia in 2010. Through those experiments, the effectiveness of this new learning environment for performing arts is discussed from the perspective of the three basic elements of this structure.

In this paper, we demonstrate that practical service chaining can be achieved by leveraging existing and standardized IP routing techniques. Service chaining is an emerging network concept for dynamically applying network services to trac. A straightforward for service chaining is to utilize software-dened networking techniques such as OpenFlow. However, they require additional development costs on both control and data planes and introduce complexity into operation from the practical viewpoint. Our proposed method, called Flowchain, enables us to construct service chaining with standardized IP routing protocols by exploiting the redirect action of BGP Flowspec. Building service chaining with IP routing reduces development cost on both planes and make network management easy. This paper describes how Flowchain achieves service chaining, and our experiments show the feasibility of Flowchain through a demonstration of service insertion and deletion, evaluation of the time required to insert a new service chain, and failover tests.
